TALBERT & BRIGHT REPORT
Mr. Peterson gave the following report:
Corporate Hangar Site Preparation
The contractor has completed the installation of the storm sewer, sanitary sewer and the waterline. The contractor is moving to start fine grading operations in preparation for the installation of the stone base. Once that is complete the contractor will install curbing and concrete. The weather continues to be an issue. We are expecting some type of weather this weekend. If the weather holds, they will have the grading and storm completed by next week. By the next authority meeting we are hoping to have everything completed except for the asphalt depending on the temperatures.
VDPES Permit
Talbert & Bright is assisting the authority in the preparation of the VPDES permit. This permit is an individual permit for the airport because of the sewer treatment plant. The deadline is in April so we will plan to have everything prepared by March.
